Playgrounds and things to do with kids in Saratoga (3)
Wildwood Park
Saratoga's wooded neighborhood park off 4th Street: playground, big shady trees, and open field space near downtown Saratoga's ice cream stops.
Montalvo Arts Center
A hillside villa with free public grounds: gardens, outdoor sculpture, a huge Great Lawn for picnics, and 100+ acres of woodland trails. Check the calendar - the grounds close for private events more often than you'd expect.
Hakone Estate and Gardens
One of the oldest Japanese gardens in the West: koi ponds, moon bridges, and bamboo, $15 adults / $10 youth 5-17 / under 5 free. Beautiful and calm but hilly with steps - not a stroller place, better for preschoolers up.
